Industrial Action – Wednesday 7 December 2022.

As you will be aware, many schools will only be able to provide partial provision next Wednesday, 7 December 2022.

The impact on secondary schools is complex and in Lourdes Secondary, we are still assessing our capacity to deliver a partial service. We regret that we are not able to provide exact details of our provision today, however, we will update you with final arrangements on Monday 5 December 2022.

We recognise that this uncertainty is not ideal and we would encourage all families to make contingency plans for childcare on  7 Wednesday.

Many thanks
